What are the methods of growing carrots?

1. Land selection and preparation

Before planting carrots, we should choose the land suitable for its growth. Generally, the soil quality of the underground crops is relatively loose, the soil is more fertile, and the drainage and irrigation are better, so the carrots are the same. In the soil preparation, we should pay attention to remove the field debris and weeds as far as possible, and flatten the land, fine the soil, sprinkle farm manure as base fertilizer, and sow seeds after a few days of sun exposure.

2. Sowing and fertilization

The main way to sow carrots is to first make ridges of the land and then sow them according to rows of ridges. You can cover the surface with a rape stalk or corn stalk before sowing, preferably after or the day before the rain, which is conducive to seed germination.

3. Field management

Fertilization is usually carried out for the first time when the carrot seedlings grow to four or five centimeters, in order to make the seedlings grow better, and the second fertilization has to wait until the carrots begin to grow up, when the fertilizer is very important and seriously affects its growth. Secondly, the moisture in the field should be well controlled, and timely watering should be carried out when it is relatively dry. In summer, Rain Water should go to the field to dredge the drainage ditch to facilitate the discharge of water.

4. Harvest

Carrots can be harvested in batches. According to the size of the carrots, the largest carrots can be harvested first, and the small ones can grow rapidly after the big ones are harvested. Although it can be carried out in batches, it must be harvested in time. Too late harvesting will affect the quality of carrots. At that time, carrots will be very old and not young at all.
